Renee Vivien

I lived from 1877-1909. I was from France, and am in the European category.

My poetry

  • The Touch
    The trees have kept some lingering sun in their branches,
    Veiled like a woman, evoking another time,
    13 lines
  • Undine
    Your laughter is light, your caress deep,
    Your cold kisses love the harm they do;
    13 lines
  • Roses Rising
    My brunette with the golden eyes, your ivory body, your amber
    Has left bright reflections in the room
    22 lines
  • Prolong the night
    Prolong the night, Goddess who sets us aflame!
    Hold back from us the golden-sandalled dawn!
    18 lines
  • Your Strange Hair
    Your strange hair, cold light,
    Has pale glows and blond dullness;
    16 lines
